what should we expect from michelle obama tonight? guest: you can draw the comparison to the republican national convention. ann romney very much played a role in humanizing mitt romney. the governor was talking about her as the silver bullet. she is able to bring home in terms of relating to her husband. michelle obama can talk about the president as a human being, as a father, as a husband who has flaws. she did that from the beginning. obama made us into a celebrity and people just loved him. for some democrats, he seemed like a rock star. she can talk about him as someone with human qualities to try to humanize him. tonight i think you'll see less of that and more of an advocate of the things that he has done. she speaks fluently about those things. she will talk about his accomplishments. she will tout his accomplishments and promote what he will do going forward. he is already familiar to voters. host: we were showing video of michelle obama torrent the podium at the arena in charlotte -- touring the podium at the arena in charl
